Brouage is on the western coast of mainland France, in the Charente-Maritime department of the Poitou-Charentes near Ile d'Oléron and south-west of Rochefort.

Set on the edge of the marshes of the Marais-Poitevin, the town had started to lose out to larger neighbour Rochefort by the 17th century, and to go into decline because the salt-plains which generated the towns wealth were slowly receding from the town that had once been the first salt-trading town in France.

It was then that Richelieu had the town fortified as an arsenal. It is the ramparts and associated buildings constructed at that time (1628-1635) that now attracts visitors to Brouage.

The highlights of a visit to Brouage are the walk along the ramparts - approximately 2km - and the doorways through the ramparts eg the Royal Doorway (porte royale). Many other buildings, most with a military purpose, can still be seen.
